NAME
       deroff - remove roff and preprocessor constructs

SYNOPSIS
       deroff [-w] {file(s)}

DESCRIPTION
       deroff reads in the named files (or stdin if none are given) and strips
       out troff constructs and macros. The preprocessor (eqn, tbl, pic, grap,
       and vgrind) sections are removed entirely.  The resulting output, suit‐
       able for spelling, is sent to stdout.

OPTIONS
       -w     output a word-by-word list, delimited by newlines.

SEE ALSO
       troff(1), eqn(1), pic(1), grap(1), vgrind(1).

BUGS
       deroff is not a full troff(1) interpreter;  in  particular  it  doesn't
       know how to expand macros and how to treat m[mse]'s registers.
       Macros are assumed to end with ..  and are simply skipped.
       deroff can be fooled with circular .nx requests.	 The .so request deep‐
       ness is limited.
